Page relies on few sources, this engine also has no historical significance CZ3699 (talk) 02:53, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

• Keep for the same reasons as when I de-PRODed this: Locomotive is in the collection of a respected museum; the type of locomotive is about 50 years old, and few unmodified examples are still in service; the article has existed for over 4 years; and has been assessed as C-class. Note that the EMD SD45 only list 7 out of 1260 as preserved – that's 0.55%. I have also added a reference. — Iain Bell (talk) 15:56, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

:: Well respected museum is just a opinion, so that isn’t really a good reason to keep this article. Also the preservation section doesn’t count for engines still in service (still plenty.) Also just because the article has been on wiki for 4 years doesn’t mean it’s automatically good CZ3699 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:21, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

• Keep The article has adequate sourcing for its size, including an additional one I found [https://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/02/07-duluth-museum-to-return-northern-pacific-sd45-to-operation]. It also had been featured in a museum just as Bell said. I do not see any policy that this article is violated. Also, per WP:OTHER, check out :Category:Individual locomotives of the United States.
